Fuckers. I don't know why you'd want to hack the IA, but they're dicks for doing so. I'm gonna throw some of my spondulix to the IA, and I'd encourage others to do so.

Spondulix is 19th-century slang for money or cash, more specifically a reasonable amount of spending money. Spondulicks, spondoolicks, spondulacks, spondulics, and spondoolics are alternative spellings, and spondoolies is a modern variant.

Spondulix

That's an odd name. I'd have called them dollarydoos.
